President Bush should honor his campaign pledge to properly commemorate the Armenian Genocide. The Congress should adopt the Armenian Genocide Resolution - H.Res.316 and H.Con.Res.195 in the House; S.Res.320 in the Senate..

The Congress should reassert its authority to legislate guidelines governing our foreign aid policy by including a provision in the fiscal year 2007 foreign aid bill which allows the President to extend the authority to waive Section 907 on a year-to-year basis only with explicit Congressional approval.

The Administration and Congress should expand joint programs between the U.S. and Armenia, such as the U.S.-Armenia Task Force, and move forward in finalizing a Double Taxation Treaty, a Social Security Agreement, and other bilateral arrangements to facilitate increased economic cooperation.

The U.S. should maintain parity in all U.S. military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan, and prohibit any sales or transfers to Azerbaijan of U.S. equipment, training or technology that could be used against Armenia or Nagorno Karabagh.

Congress should carefully scrutinize proposed sales and transfers of U.S. military hardware to Turkey, and ensure strict enforcement of Code of Conduct legislation limiting arms sales to regimes, including Turkey, that violate human rights or engage in aggression against neighboring states.

The State Departments should publicly protest violations by Turkey of the religious, civil, and rights of its Armenian community, and should carefully monitor, investigate, and publicize the destruction by the Turkish and Azerbaijani government of Armenian historical and cultural monuments.
